Reciting Chinese poetry was difficult for most of the foreign students. But for those which took part in the 2019 Tribute to Chinese Classic: International Poem Recitation last week, it’s not. Instead, they was just a way for them to felt the beauty of Chinese poetry.
In August 18, at the University of Toronto Mississauga in Ontario, Canada, about 50 students came together to recite some of the classic Chinese poem. After 3 rounds of hard competition, Peter, a 18-year-old boy, won the first prize in the senior group. He read a famous poem, Invitation to Wine, writing by Li Bai. Thanks to his excellent perform, many teenagers knew much about Chinese poetry than before.

Perhaps you’ve heard the old saying “curiosity killed the cat.” It’s a phrase that’s often used to warn people—especially children—not to ask too many questions. 1. In fact, research has shown that curiosity is just as important as intelligence in determining how well students do in school.
Curiosity can also lead us to make unexpected discoveries, bring excitement into our lives, and open up new possibilities. 2. For example, one day in 1831, Michael Faraday was playing around with a coil(线圈) and a magnet(磁铁) when he suddenly saw how he could produce an electrical current. At first, it wasn’t clear what use this would have, but it actually made electricity available for use in technology, and so changed the world.
3.On one level, this is because technology has become so advanced that many of us are unable to think too deeply about how exactly things work anymore. While it may be possible for a curious teenager to take a toaster apart and get some sense of how it works, how much do you understand about what happens when you type a website address into a browser? Where does your grasp of technology end and the magic begin for you?
In addition to this, there’s the fact that we all now connect so deeply with technology, particularly with our phones. The more we stare at our screens, the less we talk to other people directly. 4.Then we feel we know enough about a person not to need to engage further with them.
The final—and perhaps most worrying—way in which technology stops us from asking more has to do with algorithms, the processes followed by computers. As we increasingly get our news via social media, algorithms find out what we like and push more of the same back to us. 5.Perhaps the real key to developing curiosity in the 21st century, then, is to rely less on the tech tools of our age.
A.It is still not known why learning gives us such pleasure.
B.We are always encouraged to challenge our pre-existing beliefs.
C.Yet it’s widely agreed that curiosity actually makes learning more effective.
D.All too often we accept the images of people that social media provides us with.
E.However, curiosity is currently under the biggest threat, coming from technology.
F.In science, basic curiosity-driven research can have unexpected important benefits.
G.That means we end up inside our own little bubbles, no longer coming across new ideas.
